Yelp Dependencies

Required

Recommended

Optional

Note

The Yelp package is not required
for a functional GNOME Desktop.
Note, however, that without Yelp
you will not be able to view the built-in Help provided by core
GNOME and many of the support
applications.

Command Explanations

--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to rebuild and install the API documentation.

update-desktop-database: This
ensures that /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache will be
updated and therefore the help in gnome applications will
work. Some packages run this command during their installation, but
yelp and the gnome applications do not.
